Johann Nepomuk Gottfried Krenner , Edler von Krenner from 1792 (also called Johann Gottfried ; * July 11, 1759 in Munich ; † January 13, 1812 ibid), was a German legal historian and statesman .
Life
Krenner was the son of a court chamber councilor . He initially received private tuition and graduated from Munich high school in 1774 . He then completed the mandatory two-year basic course (= philosophy) at the adjoining lyceum and then switched to law studies at the University of Landshut in 1776 . In 1779 he received the licentiate in law. In the same year he joined the Order of Illuminati . For further studies he switched to the University of Göttingen, which was very popular at the time . There, as well as at the Reich Chamber of Commerce in nearby Wetzlar , he remained until 1781. Also in 1781, on August 17th, he was appointed as extraordinary professor , and in 1783 as full professor of imperial history, European political science and imperial court procedure law at Ingolstadt University. The appointment as a full professor was also linked to the appointment to the real electoral court councilor . In 1788 his chair was extended to include constitutional law, and he also worked as a university archivist.
After the ban on the Order of Illuminati, Krenner initially got away with a warning from the government. Nevertheless, he kept in touch with the Order and was only able to save his career, even under the impression of harsher punishments, by making a confession in 1791. In 1792, in which he also the doctor of law doctorate was, he could despite his Illuminatenvergangenheit as fiscal to the Reichsvikariatshofgericht called be. After the end of the vicariate, he and his brother Franz von Krenner were raised to the hereditary nobility and imperial knighthood. In 1793 he was appointed to the higher regional government council in Munich. After he was visibly unable to meet his obligations at the University of Ingolstadt because he was too busy in administration, his secretary and cousin Carl Sebastian Heller von Hellersberg was appointed as an associate professor there.
Krenner gained a great deal of trust at the court and was therefore sent to the Rastatt Congress as legation councilor in 1798 . In 1799 he was appointed Secret Legation Councilor, and in 1800 he was appointed Real Secret Councilor . During this time he also resigned from his professorship in Ingolstadt. He became a consultant in the Bavarian Foreign Ministry , which was just being established at this time by the reforms of Maximilian von Montgelas . In 1801 he also received an assessor position with the so-called Debt Abolition Commission . In 1808 he changed to the Reichsheroldenamt as head . In 1811 he was finally appointed head of the Royal Court and State Library .
Krenner was honored in many ways for his services. He was in command of the Order of Merit of the Bavarian Crown , from 1781 an extraordinary and from 1808 a full member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences . As early as 1779 he was appointed a member of the Electoral Bavarian Society of Moral and Agricultural Sciences in Burghausen because of his writing on girls' lessons . In addition, in 1956 the Krennerweg in Munich- Solln was named after him and his brother.
